Game Day #41: Penguins @ Capitals
Under any other circumstances, the buildup to a Pittsburgh/Washington game is full of tension and excitement. Yet, two of the NHL’s supposedly best teams find themselves rattled with injuries and little spirit left to fight. The Penguins, following their loss to the Ottawa Senators last night, have failed to earn a point in any of their last five games. We could say they will use tonight as a chance to come out and fight, but even I feel exhausted for them…
Game Notes:
- Dustin Jeffrey was deactivated from injured reserve today. We’re still unsure what this means as to his playing status…We can only hope DJ Jazzy Jeff will be back in action ASAP! We need you, bro!
- Nicklas Backstrom and Mike Green, two of the Caps best players on both ends of the ice, are injured.
- After a slow start to the season, Ovechkin is finding his niche. His point production is starting to heat up, so keep an eye on him!
